Re: Piano reduction

Hi, for the wa-wa effect, I've seen just notes with an acciaccatura.
And temple blocks, I actually have used 2-3 consecutive semitone notes, as speed allows.

Re: Tacet or not

Thank you both. I'll follow my guts, and John's, cueing the second mov. for every instrument.

Tacet or not

Hello, I'm preparing the parts from a score in which the second movement leads to the third with no pause, with attaca . Most of the instruments do not play in the 2nd mov. and some enter directly on m. 1 of the third. 1) Can/should the non playing instruments in 2nd mov. have a tacet in their parts...

Rests in 5/4

Hi, just wondering... I'm engraving a piano piece in 5/4 in which the r. h. has two whole bar rests and then four beats of rests and a final quarter note. Although the whole note rest is technically ok four the 4 beats, it looks odd following the two previous empty bars. Would it be wrong if I use t...

Request for revision

Hi, I'm finishing a project in Finale with piano pieces by a Chilean composer from the first half to the 20th century. It would be my first printed publication, and still have a couple of months before entering into press. Is there any chance someone could take a look into it and give some feedback?...

Re: Dorico slurs and beams

I'm still learning how to use Dorico, and struggling with beam/stem settings. I also have a dream, that given a set of parameters, and after editing a beamed group, one could click a "learn" button that could modify the correspondent parameters. And also to have settings for beams within t...

Re: Stem Direction-the Long View

Hi John, it's quite a mind opener issue! I wonder what do you think of the upper right corner measure, and the following one, with stems up and down... an implied third voice?

Re: Line/Slur/etc. settings for Dorico

I also was puzzled by it, but alas, it makes the tie to cross the flag, close to the notehead, works very well. There's a setting I don't find, the minimum space after a clef and a note, where no key or time signature is shown. Finale didn't have it so I manually set those measures to start displayi...
